I made several trips to my storage unit and picked up Anna to have a bit of fluffing fun. We tried to make things functional and space expanding. Actually LIVING in a small space takes planning and a big closet. I was thinking about having a small friends and family cocktail party so there is nothing like a party or a tour of homes to make one get things pulled together. ( the more I am thinking the more I am talking my self out of it.)

The main room is 16'x17'feet .( the kitchen, the living room, the bar and the dining room are all here,)White and natural light help expand the visual ...It has a wonderful high ceiling so it feels so much larger. The art makes the punches of color and the wooden walls and interior windows painted semigloss white make it very interesting.
HINT: if you want to add interest to you wall ....Add wood and paint them with a good quality semigloss paint.

My most favorite blue stool (Anna's favorite too)

The trunk(coffee table) was in my first house(1980) and is oringinal heart pine beaded boards.

the tortoise shell bamboo table was my mother's and the the shark's teeth were discovered on a island near Fort Pulaski

When you live in 641 Square feet ..seeing all the way thru the house is very simple. There is a fine line between "to much" and "not enough" stuff!!!!!

I reclaimed this chandlier from my client porch (his has turned in to a storage space)

excuse me while i try to think up some new adjectives...can't get charming adorable happy out of my mind!i love your artistically quirky way of hanging up the little fairy lights on the porch.they are what they are. you just let them be and fall where they may and they're enchanting.i can see the party spilling onto the porch and on outside...hope you have it, then post about it!
